Wilco

In the live recording of "Side with the Seeds" from November 30, 2007, Wilco was riding high on the success of their album 'Sky Blue Sky,' which had been released earlier that year. This album marked a pivotal point in the band's evolution, showcasing a more relaxed, rootsy sound. The performance at Cain's Ballroom, captured in the film 'Ashes of American Flags,' is a testament to their engagement with fans and their growing reputation as a live band. Interestingly, 'Sky Blue Sky' was notable for its collaborative spirit, featuring contributions from band members that highlighted their chemistry. The band's willingness to explore new sonic landscapes is palpable in this vibrant performance, reflecting both their confidence and the intricate layers they were crafting in their music at this time.
